Fantasy Tiers

Elic Ayomanor: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #99 at the position). Quentin Johnston: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #18 at the position).

Elic Ayomanor vs Quentin Johnston: The Full Breakdown

Elic Ayomanor and Quentin Johnston are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Elic Ayomanor averaged 6.0 PPG across 16 games with the Tennessee Titans, while Quentin Johnston posted 11.2 PPG in 13 appearances for the Los Angeles Chargers.

A 5.2-PPG gap gives Quentin Johnston the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Elic Ayomanor turned 89 targets into 515 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Quentin Johnston converted 84 looks into 735 yards and 8 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

One scheduling note: Elic Ayomanor is off Week 5 and Quentin Johnston Week 7. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Quentin Johnston at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Elic Ayomanor is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Elic Ayomanor (age 22) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Quentin Johnston (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
